Killer Brownie

You will enjoy your time with this company if you want to explore a very specific, very interesting work environment where you will learn a lot, connect with some really good people, and figure out where you want to go next.
 The work will be challenging when you start, specifically if you are anywhere in the Baking or Packaging departments, consisting of what can be some fairly unforgiving labor starting out, lifting, pushing/pulling heavy racks, get ready to use those arms. Then, it is almost entirely dependent on how highly regarded and valued you are by those in places of leadership and management that will determine whether you get to move up, build a career, go anywhere.
This is not a company that thrives on the evolution and growth of an employee (though they WILL try -quite adamantly- to sell you that exact idea), this is a company that very often thrives on the ones who stay right where they are. As usual, you have the option of committing to this thing and working extra hard in pursuit of advancing your title, but there is a family within this business and at the end of the day, it decides. You can be an honest and positive worker who excels  in your position for an indefinite time, and it wont always amount to much if you don’t have the safety net of these specific people. The family culture is extremely selective.
This is an opportunity to meet some good folks, very occasionally take home some brownies, and expand your knowledge to take elsewhere, there are many places where you’ll feel more appreciated and fulfilled. Not the best place to stay. 

The culture that the paint on the walls is not the culture that you experience. They tell you one thing and then treat you another. Management plays their favorite, those individuals can do not wrong, even with evidence that they are at fault. You can bend over backwards and go above and beyond, but if you are not in the select group you will not be rewarded. 

Reactive, no proactiveness. But when something needs done, everyone better drop what they are doing and help those that can't plan properly. There are a few great workers that pretty much make sure things go off without a hitch, and then a few employees who think they are doing everything and want all the credit without doing any of the work. Those people are toxic but the pets of upper leadership for some reason. 

I watched employees I oversaw get overlooked for promotions or roles solely because leadership wanted to bring in their friend or kid or the guy that helped them move one weekend. 

The vision and the reality are very off for the company. 

There are better employers in Dayton. 

It is actually a great job, there are obviously good and bad in everything. When you think about it your ultimate boss is the brownies and if you keep that on your head you will be fine. The people are what makes working there stressful/difficult. The brownie doesn’t care as long as it’s made/shipped/and eaten. It is not hard to please this boss. When you come to work.. attitudes, treatment, and the overall human disconnect is what makes things trying. You can only promote if you compete against others in the favorite at the moment game. If not a favorite then treated like a work horse but it’s ok cause they need those too. Just depends on how sensitive you are to if you will get through your day. I know this sounds harsh but it is a good job you will just get annoyed/aggrevated, but it pays well as far as this area goes and you don’t have to have a lot of knowledge coming in as long as you are observant and willing to learn. Training can be difficult sometimes but you can find the people that will train you well.

Fast paced environment in dangerous work conditions that requires you to bend, lift, push, and pull heavy loads for the entire duration of the shift. Floor is slippery with oil and it is always wet from the dirty dish water puddles from the kitchen spilling over into the production area. they will have you push 100 pound carts that have no where for your hands to go so if you scrape against something you can loose your fingers. You’re handling sharp spatulas on a production line at a very fast pace which results in cuts on your hand. There are no floor mats so you’re standing on concrete for 10 hour shifts non stop. They show favoritism and are able to pick who works what position so their favorites get to walk around while others are doing all the grueling task. Workplace culture is made of  people that are miserable with their life and are bullies that are looking for someone to mistreat so they’ll go out their way to  purposely mistreat or try to embarrass you in front of the other workers to make themselves not feel like failures for working at a brownie factory.

Killer Brownie is a good job for you if you're looking to learn some new valuable skills. You'll be working 10-12 hour days every day, it's very hard but rewarding work after you are off.

The management is extremely disconnected from it's employees. Though they promote and honest and open culture, the actuality is anything but that. You are better to swallow your opinions, as bringing them up may put your job on the line.

HR is essentially non-existent, they are only in on Friday, and rarely have time to see or talk to you about your concerns. 

This company taught me the worst, and hardest lessons I will ever learn in the workplace. This environment is terrible for young people looking to start their future. They will chew you up and spit you out when you go stale.

Keep in mind where these reviews are coming from, if you are applying to work on the floor check Production or Associate reviews, not remote or office reviews.

This is a fast-growing company that I’ve been very happy/fortunate to grow with over the last year. From the top down, credit is given where credit is due, and I’ve never been left feeling that my efforts go unnoticed or unappreciated. The compensation, schedule flexibility, and (I know we’re all tired of this word, but it’s true) the ‘culture’ is unlike any other company for which I’ve worked. I don’t see this as a stepping stone, but my new work-home, and I can see myself retiring from Killer Brownie in the distant future.

This job is dangerous and they will never stop expanding, even though they are constantly cutting corners and bandaiding issues to keep the line moving. They do not care about anything but meeting quotas, but they sure pretend like they are one big happy family. This place's HR is related to owners and is never available. If you refuse to work overtime, you're not a team player and they will work you out of the system. Overall not a good place to work. 

Of course every once in a while the job gets stressful, but every job is stressful. I’ve never felt more welcomed at any other job. Everyone is really supportive and always there to help you when you need it. The CEO and all of management are amazing and wonderful people! I love this job so much and I can’t wait till I get to work with the company again!

Killer Brownie is a company that cares about its people. Employees are recognized and rewarded by management for their contributions to the success of the business, and are also often acknowledged by their peers for a job well done. Leadership is friendly, approachable, and they truly care about each individual's growth within the company as well as their personal well-being. The sky is the limit at Killer Brownie. 

Very nice facility with modern and increasingly upgraded equipment, team leaders are some of the hardest workers I’ve ever met and the team is very driven and positive and compassionate for one another. You never feel too overwhelmed on the line, Oven room and cooling area can be overwhelming depending upon the number of qualified employees in the room for tasks that require certification.
